This task force covers the early military history of Islam and the various Muslim states, up to c. 1000 A.H. (c. 1600 AD). The primary focus is the Muslim conquests, the various Caliphates, and the early Islamic civil wars.

Later military conflicts are covered by the Ottoman military history task force and the Middle Eastern military history task force.
